You and your neighbors will have to get serious about keeping all potential food sources away. That includes a covered and secure garbage, fruit picked up off the ground, pet food not left unattended, covered feed for livestock. Also the house and other buildings must be secure to eliminate nesting sites. In the mean time, traps are the only way to get rid of them.....other than that giant rat-killing cat or dog. Alas, rats like roofs......and few dogs are roof climbers.

I used to have pack rats that would get under the hood of my car. The only way that we got rid of them was to drive the car with them under the hood. Man do I hate pack rats

Traps, poison and remove food sources - open bins etc.
If the problem remains - call in the council to find where they are breeding - they should have someone in charge of extermination if they are a public nuisance.

I know this sounds awful, but human hair spread under the areas they are going to. The human scent scares them away. Trust me it works.

Traps. I saw three out there at the bird feeder so I trapped them and that killed two.
